Tapered scoop carton Box Template Generator

Tapered scoop carton. Two matching tapered panels folded on their narrow end and glued down both sides, giving a scoop that is wide at the mouth and narrow at the base. The front carries a semicircular thumb bump.

Checked against the plate. This blank has been compared side by side with the drawing in the FEFCO Code, 12th Edition, and matches. That is a statement about the drawing, not a guarantee — always cut and fold a sample before committing to a die.

What is Tapered scoop carton?

Tapered scoop carton is a carton insert or fitment. Two matching tapered panels folded on their narrow end and glued down both sides, giving a scoop that is wide at the mouth and narrow at the base. The front carries a semicircular thumb bump.

Uses

Retail and gift packaging, where the box is seen by the customer
High-volume packing lines, since a pre-glued blank erects in one movement

Advantages

Cut from a single blank, so there is one tool and one part to stock
Arrives glued and flat, and erects quickly by hand or by machine

Disadvantages

The glued joint sets the minimum order — short runs are rarely economical

Typical industries

Food and drink
Food service and takeaway

Recommended board grades

Folding boxboard or solid bleached board, typically 250–450 microns. Heavier board for larger cartons, lighter where the carton is filled by machine.

Measured against the p.81 plate with scripts/plate-diff.py: score 0.939, MATCH, cut 1.000 found / 0.939 extra, crease 1.000 / 1.000, and the fit landed on the drawn proportions exactly. Two identical trapezoids, a = 29.96 at the fold and A = 40.62 at the mouth over H = 60.94 each, joined on the fold; a glue lap down each side of the back panel drawn as that side crease shifted 7.65 outward — 7.641 measured at one end and 7.65 at the other — starting 2.69 along the fold, turning through an arc of radius 5.414 solved from tangency to both the fold and its own outer edge (the sampled tangent point is 0.46 away on a blank 122 tall), and cut back to the mouth corner at 0.0827H. The thumb shape is a semicircle of radius 7.61 centred ON the mouth line with a concave fillet each side; with the fillets meeting the line 9.83 from centre the tangency forces their radius to 2.544, which predicts the sampled point at x = 2.46 to 611.42 against 611.40 measured. THE MISSING 0.061 OF CUT IS THE REFERENCE. The plate draws the SAME thumb shape on the back panel, bitten into it rather than standing off it — the raw page carries the whole curve from (180.16, 735.18) up to the apex and back to (199.82, 735.18) — but ecma_geom deletes it: the H arrow's lower head lands on that edge and the barb chain, which has no length limit, walks the flattened curve and takes all of it, stopping only where the straight run either side is too long to pass for a barb. Drawing the plate correctly therefore costs 0.007 against drawing it wrong (0.946 without the second thumb), which is the wrong way round and is the reason it is written down here. Same fault as F70.01's truncated arc and F60.03's deleted finger hole.
